On June 11 from 1-4pm, the UU Church of Brunswick will host an appraisal fair at Highland Green Community Center, 7 Evergreen Circle in Topsham. Four expert appraisers from Freeman’s Auction House will provide verbal appraisals of antiques, fine art, decorative arts, historical documents, or jewelry. Freeman’s, based in Philadelphia, is one of the oldest and most respected auction houses in the country. Two of the appraisers (Kelly Wright and Virginia Salem) are regulars on the TV show "Antiques Roadshow."

Each appraised item costs $10 or 3 items for $25. All items are welcome with the exception of coins, stamps, guns, or carpets. Proceeds will be shared with local charities and the host church.
